Scheveningen is hosting the O’Neill Kite World Cup as we speak, from 15 until the 20th of may. It’s the very first PKRA World Tour in Holland, celebrating O’Neill’s 60th birthday. And I, born and raised in this little town by the sea, am so proud of that and can’t wait to go and watch the action! I will be there taking photo’s and sharing via Twitter and Instagram from tomorrow on: Most of us are working during the day, and therefor we’re now kind of ‘missing the heat’…
Updates
But luckily, O’Neill (and O’Neill Netherlands as well) is doing a great job posting the photo’s, sharing updates and recaps like the one below. We’re even able to watch who’s waiting for the next heat (and who won the previous) and check out the weather (They normally ride at 12 knots).. See some of the action live via the Scheveningen Live Surf Webcam. Are you there? Get social and twitter via #ONeillKWC
